Janet Rogers Biography ...

Janet Rogers trained at Reigate School of Art, England and gained the Surrey Diploma in Textile Design. She then worked for Heal Fabrics in London and later spent six years working as Art Editor at an Oxford publishers.

Her exhibitions include the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, where she was selected by the Financial Times as one of the most promising newcomers at the exhibition, and the Royal Society of Miniatures Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. She has also held a one-woman show in France and her work is now sold extensively in the USA. Her paintings have been purchased by important private collectors, both in this country and abroad: commissions include paintings for galleries and for interior designers in London and throughout the UK.

Her work is very much influenced by the work of Samuel Palmer, a 19th century English painter. The most recent work is abstract using mixed media and special techniques, incorporating gold leaf. Her style has a timeless quality and the colours complement and harmonize with any setting.

Due to the success of her work, Janet Rogers has been published by leading fine art printers, who have produced several of her paintings as limited edition prints. She paints full time from her studio in Kent.
